Dear Hugh and Clint.
I see.
Let's sum up the situation:
"Deny" means that I want to deny access to the invasive malware or program.
It does not mean that I am denying access to the AV program.
The bottom line seems to remain the same, though. If I don't know what to
do, I should click on Deny, right? In that way, my system remains the same,
without change.
Thank you for correcting my misunderstanding.
I wonder whether I'm the only person who was confused by that
terminology....
